Jake Daley and Ryan Duckett stood at the edge of a large field to watch dozens of players try out for the Woodside Baseball League. Jake and Ryan had brought their baseball gloves to the park even though they weren't trying out. The two friends were already on the Red Sox. They were spending this cool spring Saturday morning on the lookout for good players who might help their team.
Together they scanned the players at the four different stations: running, batting, pitching, and fielding. Jake's eyes settled on ten kids getting ready for a 30-yard dash at the running station. At the sound of the whistle, the runners took off. One boy pulled ahead quickly and flashed across the finish line two full strides ahead of the pack.
"Hey, who's that kid?" Jake asked.
Ryan had seen him too. "I don't know," he said. "But he sure is fast. He won that race easy."
Jake watched the boy pick up his glove and move to the pitching station. He was tall and slender with long arms and legs. His dark hair was tucked under a blue baseball cap.
"I think I've seen that kid around," Jake said, squinting into the sun. "He looks familiar."
Ryan shrugged. "I've never seen him."
"He might be a guy who could really help us," Jake said. "Let's go talk to him."
Jake and Ryan moved toward the line of players where the mystery kid was waiting to pitch. As Jake got closer to the line, he noticed the red B for Boston on the boy's baseball hat.
"Hey, nice hat!" Jake called out.
The boy turned and smiled. "Yeah, my mom's a big Red Sox fan," he said.
"My dad is too," Jake said, tapping the same red B on his own hat. "I'm Jake. Jake Daley." He turned and pointed his thumb at Ryan. "This is Ryan Duckett. We're both on the Red Sox. Hey, maybe you'll make our team."
"Yeah, that would be cool," the boy said as he looked at the pitching hopefuls waiting in line. "But I just want to make a team. I really don't care which one."
"What's your name?" asked Jake.
"Oh yeah. I'm Adam Hull."
Jake took the baseball out of his glove and held it up. "You want to warm up?" he asked Adam.
"Yeah, but I don't want to lose my place in line."
"I'll hold your spot," Ryan said.
Adam stepped out of line and jogged a few yards away from Jake. The two boys started throwing the ball back and forth, softly at first and then harder as they moved farther away from each other.
"Do you go to Whitman?" Jake asked.
"Yeah," Adam answered. "I just started last month."
"I thought I'd seen you around."
"Probably. You live on Warren Street, right?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, 17 Warren." Jake threw the ball harder.
Adam caught it easily. "My mom lives on Lewis. I've seen you on the bus in the morning. You're a couple of stops after mine." He went into his easy pitching motion and uncorked a fastball. Ssssssmack! The ball sizzled through the air and whacked into Jake's glove.
"Watch out," Jake warned. "You don't want to throw too hard so early in the season. You'll hurt your arm."
"You mean I'll hurt your hand!" Adam laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not throwing that hard."
Not throwing that hard? Jake tried not to notice the stinging in his hand. Ignoring his own advice, Jake threw his hardest fastball to Adam. With a casual flick of his glove, Adam caught the ball inches from his left ear.
Wow, my best fastball didn't even faze this guy, Jake thought.
Ryan waved from the front of the pitching station line. "You'd better get over here," he called.
"Gotta go," Adam said, flipping the ball to Jake. "Thanks."
"Good luck," Jake said. "See you on the bus. Or maybe on the Red Sox."
Jake and Ryan moved to the side of the field and sat down in the cool grass. "That Adam guy looks pretty good," Ryan said.
"Pretty good?" Jake blurted out. "He's great. He can throw ... and catch ... and run...." He looked across the field. "I wonder if he can hit," he said.
"Want to bet?" Ryan laughed.
Jake definitely didn't want to bet against Adam. "Yeah, you're right. He's a player. Wouldn't it be cool if we got him for the team?"
"Yeah. With you at shortstop and a couple of new kids like Adam, we'll be a lot better than last year," Ryan said.
Jake smiled. He was twelve years old and this was his third year with the Red Sox. When he was ten, Jake had spent most of his time on the bench. At eleven, he started every game at second base. At the end of the season, the coaches had given Jake the trophy for Team's Best Eleven-Year-Old. Jake put the trophy on his dresser where he could see it every day.
Now that he was twelve, Jake was looking forward to playing shortstop every inning. He'd be the leader of the Red Sox. This year was going to be his best year ever.
"Hey, here's a couple of Red Sox," a familiar voice said from behind the boys. "How are you guys doing?"
"Hey, Coach Sanders."
The Red Sox coach pushed his hat back on his head as he surveyed the field. "You boys see anybody I should try to get for the team?"
"Yeah," Jake and Ryan blurted out together. "Adam Hull."
At the pitching area, Adam toed the rubber, went into his windup, and blistered a fastball across the center of the plate.
Coach Sanders looked down at his clipboard. "Oh yeah, I noticed him right away," he said, reviewing his notes. "Real good infielder ... can field anything ... terrific arm."
"He won his race, easy," Ryan added.
"Maybe he could pitch or play center field," Jake suggested. He wanted to keep shortstop for himself.
All three watched Adam whistle another pitch smack into the catcher's mitt.
"He sure looks like a great all-around player. Maybe I can figure out a way to get him on the Red Sox." Coach Sanders patted Jake on the shoulder and walked away. "See you boys next week at practice," he said with a wave.
Out on the field, Adam fired one last pitch. Another strike. Jake and Ryan exchanged grins and a quick fist bump. "We could have a really good team this year," Ryan said.
Jake agreed. Sitting in the soft grass and looking out over the field, he felt certain that this would be a great year, all right. This was going to be his year.CHAPTER 2
Jake and Ryan dashed up the steps of the afternoon bus waiting at Whitman Middle School. They walked to the back amid the shouts of students and the rumble of the idling motor and grabbed their usual seats.
"I can't believe it's only Monday," Ryan complained. "I don't think I can make it through a whole week."
"Tomorrow's our first practice. That'll be cool," Jake reminded him.
"Yeah, for you," Ryan said. "Coach Sanders will put you at shortstop. He'll probably stick me in right field ... or on the bench."
Jake looked up and saw a tall boy in a battered Red Sox hat board the bus and slip into a seat near the front. "Hey, there's that kid Adam," he said to Ryan. Then he called out: "Go, Red Sox!"
A kid in the middle of the bus popped up from his seat and yelled, "Red Sox stink. Go, Yankees!" The bus erupted into boos and cheers.
"Go, Red Sox!"
"Yankees rock!"
"Yankees stink!"
The bus driver, Mrs. Dedeo, stood up. "Everybody quiet down and get into your seats. We're about to go."
"Hey, Adam! Adam Hull!" Jake shouted above the noise.
Adam turned around and Jake waved.
"Come on back here," Jake called.
Adam started walking down the aisle, but not quick enough for Mrs. Dedeo. Looking into the big rearview mirror, she told him, "Get in your seat right now, young man. I'm not moving this bus until everyone is sitting down."
Adam quickly slid into the last seat with Jake and Ryan. "Man, that lady is mean," he said in a low voice.
"Don't worry about her," Jake said. "She's always in a bad mood."
He slid down the seat to make more room for Adam. "Hey, now that you're on the team," he said, "you get to sit with your teammates."
"I'm on the Red Sox?" Adam asked. "Awesome. I have to text my mom." He pulled his phone from his back pocket.
"Didn't Coach Sanders call you last night?" Ryan asked, sounding surprised.
Adam started tapping the keys on his phone. "Maybe he called my dad. I was at my mom's last night," he said, still tapping.
Jake reached into his backpack and pulled out a piece of paper. "You're definitely on the team," he said. "Here's the roster. They posted it on the league website this morning."
The boys checked out the list of names as the bus pulled away from the school.
"I don't know these kids," Adam said. "Can any of them play?"
"Sure," Jake said. "Let's see. Isaiah Slater is a really good hitter and he can pitch too. Evan Sherman can catch. Hannah's good, Sam pitches—"
"And Jake will play shortstop," Ryan interrupted.
"What was your record last year?" Adam asked.
"Five wins and nine losses."
Adam gave Jake a look that showed he wasn't very impressed.
"We lost a lot of close games," Jake added quickly. "We'll be tons better this year."
He looked out the window. The bus was getting closer to Adam's stop. "Hey, Adam, why don't you come over to my house? Ryan will be there too. We can play Wiffle ball in my backyard."
"Um, sure. Let me text my mom again."
A few minutes later, the three teammates were dashing through the Daleys' front door. "Hey, Dad, I'm home!" Jake shouted as he entered.
"I'm in my office," Mr. Daley called back. The boys dumped their backpacks on the living room floor and headed downstairs. Jake's father was at his computer, typing quickly. "I left you some chips and dip in the kitchen," he said without looking up.
"Me, Ryan, and Adam are going to play Wiffle ball in the backyard."
With that, Mr. Daley looked up from his computer and laughed. "Sorry about my bad manners. I just was finishing up an e-mail. How are you, Ryan?" Then he turned toward Adam. "I don't think we've met."
"I'm Adam."
"He lives over on Lewis," Jake said. "He's gonna be on the Red Sox this season."
"Oh, right. I saw your name on the roster this morning."
Jake looked over at Adam. "My dad's one of the assistant coaches," he said.
"I hear that you're quite a player, Adam," Mr. Daley said. "Maybe you can help the Red Sox win a few more games."
"Oh, he'll help," Ryan said. "A lot."
"Do your parents know you're here?" Mr. Daley asked as the boys started back upstairs.
"Yeah," Ryan replied.
"Yeah, my mom said it was okay," Adam said over his shoulder.
Outside in the bright afternoon sunshine, Jake explained to Adam how he and Ryan played Wiffle ball in his backyard. "A grounder that gets past both fielders is a single; a fly ball that lands past the bush is a double; anything over the fence is a home run."
"Let's hit with a regular bat," Adam suggested as he picked up a metal bat from a pile of sports equipment.
"It's a lot easier to hit with the plastic bat," Ryan said.
"That's why the metal bat is better practice," Adam said. "We won't hit with a plastic bat during the season, right?"
"Okay, we can hit with the regular bat," Jake agreed. "I'll pitch first. Adam, you hit. Ryan, you're out in the field. We'll switch after every three outs."
The boys took their positions, with Adam standing in the batter's box near the back of the house. A Frisbee was home plate.
Jake's first pitch broke low and away. Adam didn't swing and tossed the ball back.
"Come on, Jake!" Ryan called from the outfield. "No batter, no batter!"
Jake fixed his fingers along the holes in the white plastic ball to throw a big, sweeping curveball. He went into his windup and threw hard. The ball curved sharply toward the strike zone.
Adam whipped the metal bat around in a blur. Whack! The ball rocketed forward. Jake ducked to get out of the way, slipped backwards, and ended up sprawled on the grass.
"Are you okay?" Adam asked, moving toward Jake.
"Yeah," Jake said, still lying on his back. "I'm fine."
"I think that's a double," Adam said. He returned to the batter's box.
Ryan jogged in with the ball, barely able to keep himself from laughing. He stood above Jake and dropped the ball on his chest. "I told you he could hit," he said with a grin.CHAPTER 3
Okay, guys, look sharp!" Coach Sanders shouted to his players. He stood at home plate with a bat on his right shoulder and a baseball in his left hand. "Remember, move your feet to get in front of the grounder. Keep your glove low and make a good, solid throw to first base."
Standing in a short line of players at shortstop, Jake nodded. He was ready for infield practice and the chance to show Coach Sanders he could be the Red Sox starting shortstop.
Behind the chain-link backstop, Jake's dad and another assistant coach were throwing soft toss to other players. In the outfield, Ryan's dad was helping out by lofting high fly balls to a third group of Red Sox players.
Coach Sanders isn't fooling around this season, Jake thought as he eyed all the activity on the field. He's running a pretty serious practice.
Coach Sanders tossed the ball up and hit a hard, high hopper. Isaiah Slater, who was first in line, stepped in, fielded the ball, and tossed it to Khalil at first base.
"All right. Next player. Be ready," Coach Sanders said as he grabbed another ball from the catcher, Evan, standing beside him. Adam stepped to the front of the line. Coach Sanders smacked a hard grounder that skimmed the infield grass. Adam took a few quick steps to his left, scooped up the grounder, and fired the ball to first base. "Nice play. That's how to move those feet," the coach said. "Jake, you're next."
Jake slid over in front of the bouncing ball. But at the last moment the ball took a high hop. It hit the heel of Jake's glove and fell at his feet. Jake quickly grabbed the ball with his bare hand and threw it to first base.
"Good play. Way to stay with it," Coach Sanders said. "But you've got to field 'em cleaner than that at shortstop," he added.
Jake nodded and moved to the back of the line. He was already one play behind Adam.
As infield practice continued, Jake made most of the plays at shortstop. But Adam made all the plays. Grounders to his left, grounders to his right, line drives, pop-ups, it didn't matter. Adam fielded everything like a pro, cool and clean.
And with every one of Adam's great plays, Jake could feel his chances of being the team's starting shortstop fading away. Sure enough, when it came time for Coach Sanders to put together a starting infield, he said, "Okay, why don't we try Isaiah at third, Jake at second, Khalil at first base, and Adam at shortstop?"
Jake felt like he'd been hit by a pitch. Adam at shortstop! he thought. That was supposed to be my position!
He trudged back to second base. Adam might be a big help to the team, but Jake was beginning to think that his new friend could be a big problem for him.
Ryan jogged in from the outfield, heading for the soft-toss station. "What are you doing at second base?" he asked Jake.
"I don't know!" Jake snapped. "Coach put Adam at shortstop."
"Well, he didn't miss a thing in practice," Ryan said.
"I didn't miss many," Jake pointed out.
Ryan shrugged and kept moving.
Adam didn't miss anything during the rest of infield practice, either. And Jake noticed every great play Adam made. He couldn't wait for the end of infield practice.
Jake's group finally moved to soft toss, where Mr. Daley and Isaiah's dad, Mr. Slater, were ready for them. Mr. Daley gave out the batting instructions. "Get your hands back," he said, demonstrating with a strong, smooth swing of the bat. "Make a quick step into the pitch and drive the ball into the net." Then he paused. "Okay, let's see. Jake, you'll start with me; Adam, you can start with Mr. Slater."
Jake stood at the plate, a few feet in front of the net. He almost missed the first toss as it floated in from the side. The bat just nicked the lower edge of the ball and the ball popped weakly over the net.
"Head down. Eyes on the ball, Jake," Mr. Daley said.
Jake got his focus back and began to smack solid line drives into the net—most of the time.
Out of the corner of his eye he could see Adam blasting balls at the other soft-toss station, one right after the other. More important, he could hear every one of Adam's hits as his bat connected with the ball and sent it flying dead center into the net. Each hit sounded with the same solid whack! as the one before.
A little later, Coach Sanders stood in front of the whole team wearing his usual Boston Red Sox cap, blue with a red B. Jake's dad and Isaiah's dad stood behind him. The players took a break on the grass at the edge of the infield, sipping from their water bottles. "I like what I'm seeing out there," Coach Sanders said as he paced the baseline. "We're off to a good start. Everybody's working hard and hustling. The games start in two weeks, on Saturday, April 18. Mr. Daley, will you please hand out the schedules?"
Jake's dad stepped forward and handed a blue sheet of paper to each player.
"When do we get our uniforms?" Kyle asked.

Darlington signs sponsor for Nationwide race
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Darlington Raceway has partnered with Sport Clips Haircuts to sponsor the track's NASCAR Nationwide Series race through 2016.
Track President Chip Wile announced the agreement Thursday. The VFW Sport Clips Help A Hero 200 will be run Friday night, April 11, the night before Sprint Cup teams compete in the Southern 500. The agreement means the track "Too Tough To Tame" has backers for both its NASCAR races for the next three seasons.
"We've seen a lot of support from fans and leaders in the sport," Wile told The Associated Press by phone. "We know there's always going to be a place for track like Darlington."
Darlington's upcoming race weekend marks the first races since track had its dates moved up from Mother's Day weekend, where it carved out a niche from 2005-2013 when NASCAR had previously stayed away from racing on that weekend.
Wile, in Daytona, Fla., for NASCAR's Speed Weeks, said he's gotten strong feedback from track owners, International Speedway Corp., about the track's future in NASCAR and its new dates.
"Hey, it gets hot in May," Wile said, citing the cooler April temperatures as a reason for moving Darlington's races up a month.
Most longtime ticket holders he's spoken with have understood the move. Any letters or emails Wile got asking for an explanation for the change, got one personally from the track president.
"I think there was only one person who didn't like it after we talked," he said.
Wile said the track's ticket sales are on pace for a big crowd come race day. He expects interest to ramp up more now that the Sprint Cup season is starting.
He said he's grateful for Sport Clips' support and said the track embraces the opportunity to help raise awareness about the Veterans of Foreign Wars' mission to support active-duty military, veterans and their families.
The track will donate $2 of each ticket sold between Feb. 25 and March 3 for its two races to Sport Clips' Help A Hero campaign.
Wile said the Nationwide sponsorship deal means he and his staff can focus on longer-term ways to keep the track viable when NASCAR isn't in town.

Apple announces music partnership with Starbucks
Alongside all-new iPods and the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, Apple today also announced an exclusive partnership with Starbucks that lets users access the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on their iPod touch or iPhone, or PC or Mac running iTunes, at participating locations. When a user enters a participating location, their device will automatically recognize the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store using a high-speed Wi-Fi wireless network with no connection fee or hotspot login. Customers will have full access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, including a new "Now Playing" service which displays the name of the song playing in the Starbucks store at that moment.
"Getting free access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and the 'Now Playing' service at Starbucks is a great way for customers to discover new music," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Imagine walking into a participating Starbucks, hearing a great song, and being able to instantly download it onto your iPod or iPhone. We think this is very cool."
"With this partnership, we're bringing Apple's leadership in digital music together with not only our retail footprint, but the unique Starbucks experience, to offer customers a world-class digital music experience," said Howard Schultz, chairman, Starbucks Coffee Company. "Introducing this new service is a natural extension of our music strategy which only enhances the retail coffee experience for customers by helping them discover and acquire new music instantly."
The service will make its debut at more than 600 Starbucks company-operated locations in New York and Seattle on October 2, and will continue its national rollout to 350 Starbucks stores in the San Francisco Bay area on November 7; 500 stores in Los Angeles in early February 2008; 300 stores in Chicago in March 2008; and additional markets throughout the US later in 2008.

I agree - although I have to assume that Starbucks' exclusivity with T-Mobile was the deciding factor there. I'll be curious to see if this "free iTunes WiFi" is a clever workaround that really means "free WiFi from your iPhone/iPod Touch."

Abandoned house ► Open5039 Larchwood Avenue Philadelphia, PA, 19143
This house has been vacant and abandoned for close to two years. Multiple windows on the first and second floor are either covered in plywood or are broken without any covering, the wooden trim around windows and doors is rotted out, and the property is overgrown with vegetation.· Reported by Dan S. (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
Dan S. (Guest)
I reported theses issues to L&I and within days they marked all of violations as "complied with" even though nothing has been done to this vacant home. In fact, since reporting this house, the condition has deteriorated even more and the weeds have grown even higher. Some of the windows on the west side of the home (two on the first floor and one on the second) are so rotted and warped that they are about to fall out of the brickwork. An additional first floor window has no glass and the blinds are actually hanging outside of the home. This structure is the definition of blight.
Dan S. (Registered User)
This house continues to sit vacant and abandoned and with the cold/wet weather, deterioration has accelerated. Cracks are appearing in the exterior bricks all along the side of the house, wooden window frames are falling off and hanging precariously from the first and second floors and many of these same windows are missing entire panes of glass and are either haphazardly covered with boards or with clear plastic that has ripped long ago. Something needs to be done ASAP.
Dan S. (Registered User)
Last week some workers showed up at the abandoned property and cleaned the walkway along the side of the house, Then they covered the front door and all of the broken windows on the first floor with plywood and posted an orange NO TRESPASSING document. It doesn't look very nice, but it is progress.
Dan S. (Registered User)
Trash is beginning to pile up along the walkway aginst the west side of the house, including a large TV and pallets. The front of the property is also overgrown with weeds and a side window at ground level providing access to the basement is completely gone which allows for direct access into the vacant structure.

Repaint the bike lane please ► Open2-598 North 48th Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Whether I'm walking, running or biking on this road, the drivers go too fast and it's scary. Sometimes I walk with a sweet old lady and if I get hit, I'll probably recover - I'm only 36, but she'd be down for the count, especially at the speeds people drive by there. The sidewalk is fine, but narrow and uneven so sometimes we walk in the bike lane. The bike lane paint has worn off so drivers drive in the bike lane and go too fast because they think the street is wider than it is.· Reported by juliastone47 · Share · Flag Flagged

Still dangerous. If I organize a paint crew, is it ok if I paint purple lines? What about glow in the dark?

Contractor dumping trash ► Open700-718 South 53rd Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Near the alleyway between Webster St. & Catharine St., lots of large bags of construction debris is being left on the sidewalk from a construction job being done at 5309 Webster. Workers are bringing the trash bags through the alleyway leaving them on the sidewalk.· Reported by An anonymous SeeClickFix user · Share · Flag Flagged
cobbscreekneighbor (Registered User)
Is the house in 53rd and Catherine contributing to this as well? Even the half assed fence they put up to hide it is falling down. The rear yard is practically overflowing with contractor bags.
samgimmo (Registered User)
Yes, this yard is an overflowing trash pit with an open invitation to bring trash & dump it here. The city sanitation dept., just removed trash bags from the sidewalk (excellent job, fast response from the city) but since there's work still being done at the property at 5309 Webster st., I'll bet there's going to be more short dumping, people rather dump it on the street than pay to dump it the right way.

Great affordable product

I Am very happy with my Cover King seat covers. I am impressed with the look and feel of the mesh. I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything fits. Especially since I have a Ford F-250 with a built-in console in the rear seat w/60/40 split and a console built into the back of middle seat in the front with storage under center seat. Everything fit very good.
Reviewed By Bret W (CUMMING, GA) Reviewed for a 2011 Chevy Silverado —10/4/2015 10:05 AM
Seat covers are awesome. Tight fit at first but with a little time I'm sure they will stretch out for a better fit. Really brings the seat back to life and tightens it up to make it comfortable just like new. Plus if u have dogs and are tired of vacuuming those hard to get Pyr hairs out of seat and existing covers! Wipe down for easy cleaning and a great look. Plus you can slide right in and out of truck much easier. Wish there was more literature and details for the cargo pockets!
